Water is heated in a mixing chamber by mixing it with hot watercoming from a heater. The mixing chamber loses heat to thesurroundings at a rate of 5 kW. The hot water enters the mixingchamber at a rate of 1 kg/s. The mixed water leaves the chamberfully mixed. - The cold water enters the mixing chamber at 200 kPaand 20°C at a velocity of 3 m/s - The hot water enters at apressure of 100 kPa and 150°C at a velocity of 2 m/s - Thesurroundings temperature is 10°C The mixture leaves the chamber at150 kPa and 70°C at a velocity of 5 m/s. What is the mass flow rateof the cold water and the rate of entropy generation in thisprocess?
